The quality of his work, Mr Stinnet, stands on its own. His presentation of what and how he is doing it, is captivating. After watching a couple of his videos, his gentle spirit draws you into his world. You walk away as you have found a new best friend with his easy going speech, lil anecdotes and his faithful companion, Merle. He is living the life most of us would enjoy, at his pace...thank you sir, I always come away very calm and enriched.

Watching you create never gets old, I’m always amazed.

You have an incredible talent and undoubtedly the best way to pass the time while this virus thing is going on. How you were able to detail the iridescent wings on the cicadoidea is amazing. Your snake carvings look way more realistic and lifelike than any taxidermy I’ve seen. I’ll be looking forward to your next video post.

Me and my friend would watch you in class all the time and we used to joke about how we’ve never heard your voice

I have deep respect and admiration for snakes, mythical beings with peculiar color patterns. It is incredible how you manage to create that essence in the details of the scales and colors. a true work that reflects talent and dedication. :3:3

Your video made me think of my grandpa, God rest his soul. He had a few canes in his possession and even a cane sword, he would've loved watching you! I wanna look into woodcarving now because of how amazing this looks...i won't be as good, but i can sure try!

Hi Mr. Stinnett. I have watched your videos for a long time and every time I see one I think of how they should be in a museum. You are truly an artist. And a master carver at that.

Bamboo Viper wonderful, and the cicada too, no-one in the world of carving does this better, what a talent you have been gifted with, and little Pearl so patient on your knee and on her chair with her blanket so sweet. I know it takes you two to three weeks each cane, and doesn`t it show, see you next time Mike and family, Stay Safe.

Your snake cane videos inspired me to take a wooden box I have been holding on to for a project and cover it in wood burned snake scales. I had to take take a big brass tip and make my own keeled "scale" for my cheap wood burning pen. My wife is a big Harry Potter fan so I burned the Slytherin House sigil into the lid and I stained if a dirty green color. She loved it! Love your videos!
